Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Mentor received additional information regarding patient and event details.Mentor became aware that the patient¿s late-onset seroma was bilateral, and the patient also suffered with right-sided lymphadenopathy and left-sided breast cyst.Upon clinical review of additional event information, it was decided to remove clinical code e1801 to more accurately capture the reported event.It was determined that the previously reported skin cancer was not a complication related to the suspect medical device.The mentor failure analysis lab has completed the re-evaluation of the suspect medical device.Device re-evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the mentor memoryshape¿ mm, 395cc returned device.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Lymphadenopathy or palpable lymph nodes may be the result of bacterial or viral infection, neoplasm (primary or metastatic), or as the result of an idiopathic inflammatory process or foreign body reaction.There have been reports regarding movements of silicone gel material to lymph nodes even with or without evident of rupture leading to lymphadenopathy.A number of epidemiology studies have evaluated large populations of women with breast implants from a variety of manufacturers and implant models.The studies do not, taken together, support an association of breast implants and a diagnosed rheumatic disease.Other than one study, these studies do not distinguish whether the women had ruptured or intact implants.Because there were no supporting pathology reports or physician consultation summaries forwarded to product evaluation, we are unable to confirm the presence of or the possible etiology of the reported lymphadenopathy.Lymphadenopathy is a known complication associated with this surgery and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.A seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Symptoms from a seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.A seroma may occur soon after surgery, or any time later on, which would be referred to as a late seroma.While the body may absorb seromas, some may require surgery for drainage.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device 6832606 number, and no non-conformances were identified.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
